Studio notes






Just a little documentation of my current work in progress... To give a little background to the work, I am mainly concerned with the idea of the in-between space, and have been looking at these kinds of places that occur often on the periphery of urban spaces. I am having issues with display methods, it seems to be one of the major stumbling blocks right now in terms of my work's progression, other than that I'm feeling fairly positive about the direction it is taking, and the relations being produced between the images once they are in place on the wall.

Tomorrow is the first of a five day, bi-weekly self-publishing project which I am now really looking forward to starting, I feel more and more that the work could exist particularly well in book form. The idea of a book being placeless is a concept that particularly appeals to me in relation to this body of work, a potential for the work to be distributed and received simultaneously in various locations outside of the singular space of the studio.

Xeroxing



A view of some work I've been exploring lately, I'm looking at reducing an image to form and shape, tone and line, abstracting it so that it becomes unrecognisable as a conventional, readable image. It's been exciting to see just how much you can achieve with a 6x4 glossy print and a photocopying machine, watching how the image transforms each time the enlarge button is pressed. I'm thinking of creating some kind of wall installation of the different formats I've been working with, each has their own distinct materiality and hopefully I'll be able to create something that captures the intimacy of the original image without directly revealing it.
